Eric Trump is known to say some outlandish things but in a recent interview on Rumble, he made one remark that may just take the proverbial cake. It seems he claimed that rather than living a privileged childhood, dear old dad put him to work to earn his toast and caviar. In fact, the younger Trump claims his father Donald Trump had him working for construction crews for minimum wage, beginning when he was just 11 years old.

During the interview, Eric Trump also discussed his father’s becoming president, but then he took a trip down memory lane.

If he wanted a new bike, for instance, Eric Trump said, his dad’s typical response usually was:

“Congratulations, you’re going out with construction guys to cut rebar … you’re going to hop on a backhoe, you’re going to dig holes, you’re going to grab a chainsaw, you’re going to clear down trees from a storm, you’re going to do electrical work and plumbing work … we were 11 years old, paid minimum wage, learning a trade. That was expected.”

Naturally, this brought out more than a few Twitter skeptics. Quite frankly, the idea of an 11-year-old boy running a backhoe and doing electrical and plumbing work sounds dangerous and sketchy, to say the least. So, some folks couldn’t resist a few jibes.

What he means: "Dad gave me a paycheck ever since I was 11. I didn't have to do anything… just get paid."

Then when his one-hour shift was up, he’d hop in the waiting limo and head back to the country club.

My family has been in for construction for generations.

We would NEVER allow our 11 yr. olds to "cut rebar, working a backhoe and doing electrical and plumbing work."

Perhaps that's why we are still in business today. ☺️

I've been in construction most of my life, nobody that cuts rebar operates a backhoe and does electrical and plumbing in the same decade.

Federal law sets a 14-year-old minimum age for most jobs, and higher ages for some work, such as driving trucks, so is he telling us that his father used child labor illegally???

And like so many of his father’s supporters, Eric Trump is angry about the FBI searching his father’s house, whining to Fox News’s Sean Hannity:

“Sean, my father never got so much as a speeding ticket in his life, you know, until he made one decision, and that’s to go down the escalators of Mar-a-Lago and spend a lot of money and go and actually fight for this country for the first time, and he did a better job than anybody has ever done. And they started coming after him.”

Jeesh, all I can say is no wonder people mock this guy on Twitter. He walks right into it.

The FBI has yet to say what it did find at Mar-a-Lago, but agents apparently took away 15 boxes of documents. Two unnamed government sources told Newsweek they believe an informer at Mar-a-Lago instructed FBI agents on where to look. The sources also said the search was purposely conducted while Trump was not home. He was in New Jersey at the time.
